CALLING ALL
SPONSORS!
SKIMSLAM NEEDS YOUR HELP
Eight years!! Skim Slam has definitely made its mark on St. Thomas and
this year SKIMCARIBBEAN is determined to bring this little contest to yet
another level. The 2013 event once again promises to be a step forward toward a
more positive and greener community. Skimming is a healthy activity that builds
confidence, camaraderie, and a respect for the coastal environment. In the past
few years, Skimcaribbean has been offering summer and weekend skim camps for
local youths. We are proud to say that one of our riders Alejandro Lopez placed
37th in the world in professional skimboarding in 2012.
Last year the 7th
annual Skim Slam had 45 contestants, Ages 2-30+. Prizes were awarded for the
top five riders in the five divisions. 2012 was a complete success thanks to
the enthusiasm of all who participated! You can help us make 2013 even better.
We are requesting help from our friends and past sponsors, as well as exploring
new avenues for promoting skimboarding in the Caribbean. This years’ event is
coming up quickly and there is a lot to do! We need your help to pull it off.
Here are a few things we have planned for
